Abstract: The invention relates to a lubricant distributor, particularly for use in single-line centralised lubrication systems, having a distributor block (1) or distributor rail (21) through which there passes a main flow channel (2, 22). This can be connected to a feed line (7) for lubricant and branching off from it there is at least one lubricant channel or side channel (28) leading to a lubrication point or metering cartridge (30). According to the invention, simple, rapid and reliable connection of the distributor block (1) or distributor rail (21) to the feed line (7), or coupling of two distributor blocks (1a, 1b) or distributor rails (21), or coupling of a metering cartridge (30) to the distributor rail (21) is achieved by providing, in the main flow channel (2) or a side channel (28), a holding device (2 to 6; 24 to 26) into which the feed line (7) or a connecting element (10) for coupling two distributor blocks (1a, 1b) or distributor rails (21), or a connection stub (27) of a metering cartridge (30) can be inserted. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fuel bundle (B) for a boiling water nuclear reactor having an improved water rod (W) is disclosed, this water rod (W) having two discrete compartments upper (14) and lower (17) for containing water. The bottom compartment (17) flows moderator from the bottom of the fuel bundle (B) through the water rod compartment (17) to discharge points (20) located through the water rod side walls between the upper most spacers (S); the top compartment (14) opens upwardly (15) and is naturally filled with liquid moderator settling out of the upwardly flowing moderator during reactor operation. There results the requisite presence of liquid moderator within the water rod (W) for supplying the upper two phase region of the fuel bundle (B) with nearly full moderator density. At the same time, water flow through the water rod (W) from the bottom of the fuel bundle (B) to the upper two phase region of the fuel bundle (B) improves the thermal hydraulic performance. Specifically, water is discharged in the upper two phase region of the fuel bundle (B) at the center of the fuel bundle (B) where the density of the upwardly flowing moderator has the largest vapor fraction. As a result, liquid moderator is injected where it has the maximum beneficial effect on moderator density and the beneficial formation of a liquid film immediately upstream of the spacers (S). Improved thermal hydraulic performance of the fuel bundle (B) results.

Abstract: A void inducing member 40 having a gas discharging part 44 formed to a shape whose sectional area is made smaller toward its acute top end is provided in a mold at at least one position corresponding to a cavity 30 defining the thick wall portion of a molded resin part 90. After the cavity 30 is filled with a resin melt 50 by full-shot injection, compressed gas is supplied from a gas supply source 60 through the gas discharging part 44 into the resin melt 50. The resin skin layer being formed in contact with the top end of the void inducing member 40 is easily broken through by the compressed gas, and fine gas bubbles serving as a void nucleus 51 are inserted into the resin melt 50. The void nucleus 51 is expanded to a void 52 having a size corresponding to the volumetric shrinkage of the resin melt 50. Since the growth of the void 52 compensates for the volumetric shrinkage of the resin melt 50, no defects such as sink marks are formed on the surface of an obtained resin part 90.

Abstract: On réalise un contrôle automatique de gain amélioré (18), destiné à un amplificateur (10), en modulant l'étendue d'une zone zéro d'un signal d'attaque (26) destiné à cet amplificateur (10). Cette modulation se fait par estimation de l'intensité d'un signal de brouillage intentionnel, intensité en fonction de laquelle on fait varier de manière dynamique l'étendue de la zone zéro. Ainsi, l'amplificateur (10) sature rarement, quelle que soit l'intensité du signal. Cette invention est utile pour réduire les effets préjudiciables de brouillages, éventuellement intentionnels.

Title: Subscriber line interface circuit with voltage controlled loop current.
Inventor: ROSCH REINHARD W
IPC: H04Q3/42
Filed: 1993-03-17
Abstract: A telephone line interface circuit comprises two unity gain d.c. amplifiers (132, 134) having outputs d.c. coupled via feed resistors to the line wires. Currents in the feed resistors are monitored via a digital control circuit (152), which can be programmed to provide desired operating conditions. The control circuit controls, via D-A converters (158, 160), currents passed by current sources (142, 148) through resistors (140, 146) at inputs of the d.c. amplifiers, thereby determining voltages at the amplifier inputs and hence on the line wires. These d.c. voltages are smoothed by capacitors (136, 138) used for coupling an a.c. signal to the d.c. amplifiers. The voltage control facilitates adaptive adjustment of the line interface circuit to the line in dependence upon the monitored currents.

Abstract: A paper piece storing device disposed in association with a conveying mechanism and having a paper piece storing container (20) for storing paper pieces being conveyed. This device includes a temporarily storing section (33), a rotatably displacing mechanism (30, 80) and a separating mechanism (60). The temporarily storing section (33) is adapted to receive paper pieces M being conveyed and stores them temporarily. The rotatably displacing mechanism (30, 80) is adapted to rotatably displace the storing section, whereby the paper pieces stored in the storing section are led to a paper piece storing position of the paper piece storing container (20). The separating mechanism (60) prevents the paper pieces stored in the temporarily storing section from rotating against the operation of the rotatable displacing of the temporarily storing section and separates the paper pieces from the temporarily storing section at the paper piece storing position of the paper piece storing container.

Abstract: Méthode et appareil permettant de prélever des échantillons et de déterminer la présence de certaines substances, telles que des résidus d'agents contaminants, dans des récipients. La méthode comprend les étapes suivantes: injection d'air comprimé dans lesdits récipients, afin de déplacer au moins une partie de son contenu; extraction par succion d'un échantillon du contenu du récipient ainsi déplacé; et analyse de l'échantillon extrait pour déterminer la présence ou l'absence desdits résidus. L'air comprimé est injecté par une buse dans une ouverture du récipient, de manière à déplacer une partie du contenu du récipient et former un brouillard qui sera en partie extrait du récipient par succion et cet échantillon sera analysé pour détecter la présence d'agents contaminants, tels que des composés azotés ou des hydrocarbures. Selon l'un des modes de réalisation, près de 90 % de l'échantillon extrait est détourné de l'analyseur pour être retourné dans le circuit de l'injecteur d'air. Selon l'un des autres modes de réalisation, un ventilateur souffle le reste du brouillard échantillon vers le bas du poste de prélèvement. Une calotte peut être prévue, pour réaliser un écran au poste de prélèvement et assurer ainsi une aérodynamique appropriée pour l'extraction de ces résidus.

Abstract: So that on the one hand a secure fixing of a propeller on the valve stem of an inlet and exhaust valve is ensured even under extremely high loads and that, on the other hand, account is taken of differing requirements for different valve parts by means of a deliberate choice of materials, the valve stem 2 together with the propeller 3 is manufactured from a common blank by turning the propeller 3 in the form of its radial generating curve from the said blank in order to obtain the valve stem 2, and milling the vanes 6 out of the turned form of the propeller 3. The valve disc 4 is manufactured from a high temperature-resistant material, whilst the valve stem 2 together with the propeller 3 is composed of a material with low notch sensitivity and high fatigue strength. The valve disc 4 is connected to the valve stem 2 by a friction weld. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The device comprising a body (15) bounding a socket (16) for holding a part of a profile (13), an opening (17) for holding a cord (6, 7, 21), and a passage (18) communicating with the opening (17) for sideways entering a cord (6, 7, 21) into the opening (17). The passage (18) intersects the socket (16). A folding curtain incorporating such a device is also described. 
     Since the passage intersects the socket, the cord can easily be introduced into the opening before a part of the profile is introduced into the socket. Then the socket can be positioned over a part of a profile. After the socket is mounted over a part of the profile, the passage is obstructed by the profile so the cord cannot dislodge transversely from the device.
